Using VM 7.07, replying to MIME multipart/alternative, text/plain and
text/html, both encoded base64, with 'R' (vm-reply-include-text): the
text included from the original message is garbage.  Sometimes gets

  MIME error: "at least 2 bits missing at end of base64 encoding"

Sometimes the included text includes recognizable headers from the
original message or the next one in the folder.

I get the impression the include-text code is not correctly finding
the boundaries of the message body.
